Bought primarily for multi week backpacking trip in the mountains. The main feature that drew me to this product is the rate at which this battery bank can be recharged. It is capable of being charged at 100W and will fill in 1 hour and 40 minutes, which is great. I wanted this specifically because I knew my time available to actually recharge this might be short and couldn't wait overnight so I bought the Anker 100W charger as well. The do indeed work together perfectly and I can confirm I have charged fully several times now and its tome to recharge is as it should be. I also liked that I can see exactly what is going on with the charger whether I am recharging the battery or charging other devices or both, the display tells me exactly what power is being delivered to each output. I found this useful while managing power on trail to recharge phone, head lamp, and watch. The built in cables work well and I have no complains about them, though I think I would have chosen the product without the built in cables, this one happened to be on sale when I bought it, I can go either way on the built in cables, they aren't problematic, if you are counting grams you might make a different choice. It charged my iPhone 16e at about 18W but seemed to vary the speed it was charging it, I think thats just part of the battery management and power delivery protocols in place for the device, in any case it charged rapidly. For my purposes weight was a major issue and this is a heavy choice, further made more difficult by requiring a 100w charger, which is heavy, to quickly charge this device. I calculate .84 oz/aH for this device and compare that to what I think is the lightest weight device at .51 oz/aH for the 20k version from a popular other manufacturer for ultralight backpacking gear. That device has none of the features this Anker product has and is not capable of fast charging, taking about 8 hours to recharge. All in all after a couple weeks in the mountains with this, I can say I am glad I had it. The newer iPhones are remarkable on battery usage when you are careful to control airplane mode, gps, etc. I even had enough power to let myself watch some movies occasionally without worry about running out. When I got to a place I could recharge I was able to relatively quickly charge up without leaving the gear laying there all day. I have used many Anker products in the past and this has been no different, it appears to obey standards (ie it seem to negotiate successfully with the iPhone on rate of recharge) and seems durable and works as advertised. There are new products already from Anker so take a look at those if you are shopping for something like this, I think the tech is changing rapidly. If this product meets your needs I think you are safe in purchasing it, I have been very happy. I just wish it could magically weigh much less but the tech just isn't there yet. Works great, features are excellent, reliable, fast, would buy again. Read more

I picked up this Anker power bank for use with multiple devices and it has performed very well both at home and while traveling. Charging speeds are excellent across the board. It charges my MacBook Air M4 at up to 67W, my Steam Deck OLED at 45W, and my iPhone 15 Pro at around 20W, which is exactly what I was hoping for. In terms of size, it’s not pocketable, but it’s also not unwieldy. It’s easy to throw into a bag and is perfect for using around the house when you’re not near an outlet, like in the backyard, as well as for travel days when access to power is limited. One of my favorite features is the display. It clearly shows battery status and real-time charging data, including charging speeds, which is far more informative than basic LED indicators and genuinely useful when managing multiple devices. I’ve used several Anker products over the years, including other power banks and wall chargers, and this continues that trend of solid build quality and reliable performance. Overall, this has become my go-to portable charger for higher-power devices, and I would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a capable, high-capacity power bank. Read more

Outstanding charger, I travel for work and I'm also a photographer with dozens of gadgets that are constantly needing charging This is the best power charger I've ever used. Yes, it is a little bit heavy, so it's not for everyday use in your back pocket. But it packs an unbelievable punch. It holds a ton of power, and the speed with which it recharges your devices and the speed with which it recharges itself are both blazingly fast. I think my Macbook Pro charges quicker than when it's plugged into the wall. The displays are super easy to read and digital comma so I know exactly what power I'm charging at, and exactly how much is left. The built-in USB-C cords are great, they retractable one is long enough that is convenient almost all the time. The one that forms a wrist strap is extremely durable and handy to have as a second. I love having this in my arsenal now, and it's already becoming an indispensable tool. I'm going to buy a second as a backup Read more

I am an Anker fan, their products just work. This thing rocks, it is a beast. It charges fast and I can use that to charge just about everything I carry, including my laptop, at least once. Earbuds, phone, laptop, tablet, no problem. The screen looks good and has all the info you need, including how many watts are going through each port. Nice. It is pretty beefy and weighs a good chunk, so be prepared, but it is totally manageable for EDC in my backpack in the cords and cables pouch. The two included USB-C cables are a little weird. One doubles as the handle, and one is retractable, but otherwise work as expected with durability TBD. The key feature for me is the power pass-thru. Plug this into a power source using the female USB-C port, and you can charge 3 other devices, 2 of them USB-C and one from the USB-A port. All while the powerbank itself is charging. Perfect. I would change two things: add a second female USB-C port, and modify the form factor to something flatter and larger, like paperback sized. Or large smartphone size, just thicker. . Read more
